ADLS2 File Forwarding MultiForwardingUDR Input

When the agent is set to use MultiForwardingUDR input, it accepts input of the UDR type MultiForwardingUDR declared in the package FNT. The declaration follows:

internal MultiForwardingUDR
{ // Entire file content 
 byte[] content; // Target filename and directory 
 FNTUDR fntSpecification; 
};

The content of the MultiForwardingUDR will be stored at the path that you have set in the fntSpecification field. Use the APL functions fntAddString and fntAddDirDelimiter to set the value of this field. For further information about these functions, see FNTUDR Functions in APL Reference Guide.

When the files are received they are written to temp files in the DR_TMP_DIR directory situated in the root output folder. The files are moved to their final destination when an end batch message is received. A runtime error will occur if any of the fields have a null value or if the path is invalid on the target file system.

A UDR of the type MultiForwardingUDR which has a target filename that is not identical to its precedent is saved in a new output file.

Non-existing directories will be created if the  Create Non-Existing Directories  check box under the Filename Template tab is checked. If not checked, a runtime error will occur if a previously unknown directory exists in the FNTUDR of an incoming MultiForwardingUDR. Every configuration option referring to bytearray input is ignored when MultiForwardingUDRs are expected.

import ultra.FNT;

MultiForwardingUDR createMultiForwardingUDR
(string dir, string file, bytearray fileContent){

    //Create the FNTUDR
    FNTUDR fntudr = udrCreate(FNTUDR);
    fntAddString(fntudr, dir);
    fntAddDirDelimiter(fntudr);//Add a directory
    fntAddString(fntudr, file);//Add a file

    MultiForwardingUDR multiForwardingUDR =
    udrCreate(MultiForwardingUDR);
    multiForwardingUDR.fntSpecification = fntudr;
    multiForwardingUDR.content = fileContent;

    return multiForwardingUDR;
}

    bytearray file1Content;
    strToBA (file1Content, "file nr 1 content");

    bytearray file2Content;
    strToBA (file2Content, "file nr 2 content");

    //Send MultiForwardingUDRs to the forwarding agent
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR
    ("dir1", "file1", file1Content));
    udrRoute(createMultiForwardingUDR
    ("dir2", "file2", file2Content));
